Next-Generation Transportation Infrastructures: Sustainability, Digitalization, and Resilience

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of transportation systems demands infrastructure that is not only durable and cost-effective but also sustainable, intelligent, and resilient to future challenges. This Special Issue aims to showcase innovative research that advances our ability to design, construct, evaluate, and manage transportation assets using modern technologies and environmentally responsible approaches. We welcome contributions that integrate emerging materials and construction practices; digital transformation tools such as AI, digital twins, and smart sensing; and strategies for improving climate resilience, safety, and long-term performance.

The goal of this collection is to bridge interdisciplinary knowledge across engineering, environmental science, data analytics, and policy to advance sustainable, low-carbon solutions while supporting efficient transportation networks that are prepared for future demands. We look forward to receiving your high-quality submissions and to fostering impactful discussions that shape the future of transportation infrastructure worldwide.
